Misuse of PoetBay's comment system

September 14, 2026  

 

 

Hello everyone,

 

You arr probably aware that we have had a number of people who have misused our comment system, basically by touting for business, which contravenes our site rules.

 

The latest member to do this is "lunarlibrary23".

 

As Isabelle has done in the recent past, I have sent messages to Lunarlibrary23 requesting that he/she removes those comments straight away, and notified him/her that failure to remove them will result in a ban.

 

It appears as if this latest member to misuse our site has just posted the same comment to many poems without even reading the submissions.  Stupidly they also offered their services to the author of "The Barefoot Bay' who died in 1916!

 

It is just possible that lunarlibrary23 is an account opened by the previuous member in an attempt to by-pass observation.

 

Please bear with the Editors who are doing their best to prevent this kind of abuse.

 

Best wishes,

 

Allen

for Editorial Team
